Thanks for the report. This is actually a harmless error; it occurs because the socket on which the server calls accept() is immediately closed in child processes, upon receipt of the graceful restart signal. It may be possible to safely hide it from the logs or avoid it somehow, however.
According to a Debian website, this problem has been isolated and fixed in release 2.2.6-2 from the Apache team. All that would be required of the Fedora project is to repackage the stuff into an FC7 (and FC8) RPM. Who is the right person to take this on?
1. This was filled against RHEL 2. did httpd get patched with this fix 3. Since this is harmless and just an noise it can be closed as FIXED
There was a set of changes related to graceful restart handling proposed by a Debian developer, but I don't think it will have made a difference for the single-listener case as is covered here. It does look like it's possible to avoid logging this in the graceful restart case.
